  To the heart of John Adams goes grace for his selfless sacrifice of a personal life,  that he may readily apply his intellect and passion in good service for the American people his time,  and the practical, useful legacy of his work forward unto all generations.  Unto him who was the lion for liberty and justice in the Continental Congress, who held steadfast to being and doing good for his country, goes the gift of a peaceful mind.  John Adams; emphatic in his determination to establish a government that would withstand the test of time, political change, and worldly pressures; with understanding of the foundational epocha, of the ‘gravitas’ he was a player in, goes peace of mind. “I made the three Reverences, one at the Door, another about half Way and the third before the Presence, according to the Usage established at this and all the northern Courts of Europe, and then address’d myself to his Majesty..” “I must avow to your Majesty, I h...

Their are two main threads that must join up, both being taught in grade school and onward, in order to render the professional labor work force most needed in the 21st century. Not looking onto local and national governments or international institutions for answers to social and environmental issues, but the individual undertaking of a business enterprise that banks on project-based mission of social good, encapsulates President John F. Kennedy’s call to have our thoughts and actions be about what we can do for each other, as opposed to what others, like the government, can do for us. ‘We’ are empowered to be the the answer creators we have been waiting for; the role of the government thus becomes more limited in this paradigm mindset, economic management levers rest with the individual according to the tenacity of their work effort and the social worthwhileness of their goals. The First Thread Empathic Capitalism is simply a acute form of describing what could ...

Frederick Douglass, the understated statesman, a colossus of intellect, refined passion, and force of God, was born exactly two hundred years ago, in 1818, straight into slavery. He was separated from his family, even purposefully bereft of the experience of knowing familial bond with his siblings, who for a time lived on the same plantation as him, and treated as less than a commodity. An anomaly of a human being was Frederick, in that he was inwardly driven to learn to read and write before he understood that those two attainments were the beginning of the passage toward his freedoms and liberty. Intellectual freedom, for Frederick-the black American slave, was the first and third bridge to complete freedom. Many had escaped to the ‘North’ on foot, and if fortunate, through the ‘second bridge’ network known as the ‘Underground Railroad.’ It was Frederick Douglass’s increasing ability to read and write; which led to his growing ability to think critically, reflect, observe,...

Rome was not built in a day, but it was built with methodical planning over time. The inner cities housing project architecture of the United States though, appear to have been created with no architectural passion. What does the building tell the young child who lives there? What can be done to change this paradigm? These hideous mega apartment constructs seem to be places to pack animals, stacking them ever so high or across large swaths of bleak landscape. One need only to look at America’s urban city centers to see the teeming mass of people stocked into the prison-like blocks to recognize how our humanity has staggered in its progress. The eloquence of city politicians who pledge to fight for the voiceless begins to sound grating under the decades of nothing happening to change these hellish residences. It is quite obvious that a great concentration of black people on or near the poverty line and largely dependent on welfare live in these. As I think back to when th...

How many dollars is a life worth? Can a skatepark make hard crime, like murder, plummet in a given geographic area? Recently, I read in a New York newspaper (with all the news that is fit to print) about the top most crime-ridden sectors of New York City. The article identified rape, murder and robbery as the main issues. How would a top-of-the-line skateboarding skatepark benefit Harlem, New York?  How about South Norwalk, Connecticut’s, Ryan Park, right next to Washington Village?  In California, Pennsylvania, and in many smart towns and cities across the country there are mega skateboarding park facilities, complete with night lighting and ample skateboarding space.  These allow a greater number of athletes to skateboard simultaneously, as well as provide a longer period of time where people with different schedules can use the park. The intensive-cognitive-physical strengthening, plus the low cost of purchasing safety ...
